HELP!!!!! "My Computer" is not working!!!

I have a USB "thumb" drive.
Just recently, a problem has begun to develop.
Every time I connect any external USB storage device to the computer I get the same message from teh bottom right hand corner of the screen: "This device can perform faster" "This USB device can perform faster if you connect....."
I've ALWAYS GOTTEN THIS MESSAGE. No problem! I click on "My Computer" and the new storage device shows up!!!!

Now, suddenly, it does NOT show up in My Computer! The computer recognizes the device by name when I connect it, but it's as if it doesn't exist when I pull up "My Computer"

"This USB device can perform faster if you connect....."
It means that your usb port is using 1.1 which is the old usb standard.
current is 2.0.
now your usb is not able to recognise in shown in my computer?

doesn't seems to be a virus.
it seems like a corrupted drivers.
when you plug in the usb device, you go to device manager.
go to start and right click on my computer and select properties and go to device manager.
Did you see any question/exclaimation mark on the Universal Serial Bus Controller when you do expand?
If yes, you might need to reinstall the drivers.
